Abstract
The heart not only represents love and emotions. Its measurement is also essential to evaluate fitness. However, visualizing heart rate so far has been limited to virtual screens with restrictive interaction, thus providing us an opportunity to develop a new interactive visualization scheme. With the PumpSpark Fountain Development Kit, we see an opportunity to create a personalized drink using the measured heartbeat data of an individual during physical activity. We describe a prototype system called TastyBeats where one or two participants engage themselves in a fluidic spectacle of creating a mocktail that matches their heartbeats. Our work expands the view of visualizing physical activity beyond virtual screen by providing a real-time and interactive visualization of heart beat data. The TastyBeats induces an active engagement of the player with representation of personal heartbeat in the form of a mocktail created by mixing different flavors together.
